Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to assess whether high intensive statin therapy could regress carotid atherosclerotic plaques as determined by High-Resolution Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance imaging (CE-MRI).

Enrolled patients have a baseline CE-MRI examination for screening carotid atherosclerotic plaques and are randomized to either low dose of Rosuvastatin (5mg) group or high dose of Rosuvastatin (20mg) group. After 26 weeks, all patients received CE-MRI examination again and each pair of baseline and follow-up CE-MRI assessments was analyzed in a blinded fashion. Moreover, lipid level and major adverse cardiovascular events are also evaluated during follow-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. To evaluate whether 26 weeks of treatment with 5/20mg rosuvastatin results in regression of carotid atherosclerotic plaques as measured by CE-MRI [26 weeks]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. major adverse cardiovascular events [26 weeks]

  2. To evaluate the change in lipid and lipoprotein levels as assessed by percentage change from baseline. [26 weeks]

  3. To evaluate the change from baseline in liver function (AST/ALT) at 26 weeks [26 weeks]

  4. To evaluate the change from baseline in renal function (serum creatine) at 26 weeks [26 weeks]

  5. To evaluate the change from baseline in creatine kinase at 26 weeks [26 weeks]
